An Interview with Mr. Abdi Hezarkhani, Political
Analyst for the Green Party of Iran

Arash Shams(AS) asks: Mr. Hezarkhani, in your opinion,
how much can the ultimatum given by the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA)
affect the regime of Iran?

Abdi Hezarkhani(AHK): In my opinion, the regime's
confrontations with the European Union, the United States, Canada,
and other countries is the Achilles heal of the regime. One can
compare this phase of regime's existence with the times when Iraq
was under pressure for its "Weapons of Mass Destruction".
Although, there are remarkable differences involved. First of all,
Mass Destructive Weapons didn't exist, or at least not on the level
they had presumed, in Iraq, whilst the Iran case is more objective
since it is there. The second difference is that in the case of
Iraq, only the US and England were Iraq's facing parties, but now
almost all of the western countries are getting on regime's nuclear
project and that is because of the fact that the ultimatum were
not given to the regime by America, and it was all of the countries
that are in that agency who are pursuing this matter. Henceforth,
the clergies can not use the US weak face on Iraq to fool the world
and present their regime as another victim of the US of America.
The European Union such tricks of the regime and pressured the US
not to face this matter by itself.

AS: some of the regime supporters are putting doubts about
the existence of nuclear projects in Iran. What is your catch on
that?

It certainly is way out of line to act such when the regime is
confessing itself about it all. After the instances when details
of Natanz and Arak were exposed by Mojahedeen Khalgh in clear details,
in addition to some other locations around Tehran, it was then that
finally westerners were alerted about how close the Mullahs are
in possession of Nuclear Weapons. Beforehand, westerns knew that
regime is doing something and their satellite was focused upon their
Booshehr. Hence, the regime occasionally would put Booshehr on
the waves to make them lost looking, while they didn't have a clue
that in two completely hidden sites that were Natanz and Arak, the
regime in on the fast lane. Exposition of these two sites and later,
other sites of the regime that had projects such as Biological or
Chemical weapons were an strategic blow to the regime. Perhaps
it could be said on their behalf that it was greater than Foroogh-e-Javeedan
military attack. Perhaps this second Foroogh-e-Javeedan that regime
was fearful about. Anyhow, after exposition of the regime's project,
Mr. Khatami ran to the cameras saying yes, we are close to technology
development, but then they are all for peaceful missions. It was
then, that at last, the world comprehended that how much they've
been fooled by a bunch of clergies and how the whole matter is hazardous.
Those who still have doubts must read the Albaradei reports, which
were prepared with all regime's .monkeyrenching Albaradei said that
they had found nuclear material clues in numerous places. Now what
is there to be confused about?

AS: what is the position of the Green Party about all this ordeal?

AHK: I believe that our position on this matter is quite clear.
First of all, our party's formation came about due to our being
worried about the regime's getting armed with Nukes. Both it was
in our program, and also in our first statement in the year 1999
we clearly warned about all this and protested about Canada exporting
nuclear technology to the regime. In another press release dated
as of October 20th 1999, we anounced that in exchange for supporting
Perviz Mosharaf who had just made a coup in Pakistan, they he had
promesed the regime to grant them nuclear technology. It is funny
that at last, two weeks ago the western media addmitted that Pakistan
has helped Iranian regime in Nuclear Weaponary. Our position in
regard to getting Nuke Weapons is clear thoroughly. Even in regard
to Nuclear Technology we had stated from the beginning that basically
our nation has no need for nuclear technology. As a whole, this
is a cover for Islamic Fundamentalist Theocratcic Regime of Iran's
warlord strategies and terrorism. Producing electricity and other
necessitated matter have hundreds of better cheaper means that do
not put the environment in dangerous conditions.

I have heard that for instance some intellectuals living in exile
have said that having nuclear technology is the right of Iran and
perhaps the only way to prevent the US military attack on Iran.
See how way off the line these dark minded folks have been? Although
perhaps regime's ministry of intelligence have had a hand into cooking
their brain somewhat. Let me only tell you that Mullah's hand getting
into Nuclear Technology shall be the greatest tragedy of the 21st
century and Iranian people are going to be the first victims. The
least problematic aspect of this ordeal is nulcear pollutions occurance
hazard for the Iranians and not much talk in that regard is necessitated.
Besides, regime is not a conventional one to be calm and harmless
in international conventions. The regime clearies are ruling is
based upon terrorist foundation. Just imagine when someday the
regime gets its hand on nukes and what is going to happen next;
the whole world is going to have insomnia for that matter. Although
I think that by now they are alarmed right now and have already
became insomnic.

AS: How may it be possible that the regime does not manage to fool
the agencies and rest of the world?

AHK: I believe that the situation both inside and outside
of Iran has passed such level of development that regime has lost
its chance of deception. COnditions are in such levels that regime's
terrorists are getting busted all around the world and obviously
regime plays cowboys gun games with the governmant and all that.
All this makes me believe that regime is in such is the worst probable
condition in terms of fooling the others.l Even inside the regime
also, there is the matter of hardliners taking over political steering
wheel. The sixth so called congress is also, although hasn't done
a darn thing, is near death saying its last words. Next year, also
Khatami's presidency is over. Off course, he is already done, but
then the regime ought to take care of itself in its conventional
style, and this is the exact matter that has caused the world's
anymosity toward them. Regime is not left with any path to take.

Even, let's iagine that it tries to pretend that it is ready
to cooperate with the agency's demand, at list in pretention. About
on of these Iran-Gates, Mr. Houshang Amir Ahmadi who is trying hard
to establish a relation between the regime and America has correctly
said on the air in radio Farda taht if Iran accepts the Agency's
conditions, tomorrow they will even look under Imam Reza's grave
searching for something. Regime knows this well and since its Nuclear
projects are real, then if the inspectors begin coming in, everything
will be exposed and therefore it can not go over this matter.
